Does anybody know if this car is accounted for? The article does not say what transmission it had.

I don't want to get into any arguments about re-bodied cars but I put the history together on the Norton Dart -an original MSO still exists. The car was tubbed in the 70-80's and later the rear floorpans were replaced. Note that some of the original owners put front side marker lights in the fenders. The original owner of this car did as well.

The article I have indicates that it was original Hurst car, I did not remember it being discused on this thread and did not know if you were aware of it.

I'm going to throw this out there, hoping someone will bite on it.
There was a Hemi Dart that was running around the east coast area that the owner/car was known as "Two Scoop Lido". The nickname of "Two Scoop" came from the fact of the car having a tunnel ram installed & a hood scoop that was attached ON TOP of the original S/S hood scoop. The name "Lido" I'm quessing was the guys nickname????
Anyone able to help me with this????. Any & all suggestions appreciated

Fiqured it's been awhile since I posted a pic of my unknown soldier, so here's one of my favorites with the one & only Mr. Norm.
